My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

"Just the two of you? Where are the others?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi and Chen Mo with a suspicious expression.

"We went to buy lunch, and you called, so we just came to pick you up."

"Where are the others?"

Li Shimin asked the question, his gaze constantly shifting between Chen Mo and Li Lizhi.

"Can't other people go shopping with you? It has to be just the two of you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo finally couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Old Li, you really overthink things!"

"What do you mean I overthink things!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi with displeasure.

"This is my daughter!"

"If your daughter was seeing a strange young man every day, wouldn't you worry? Wouldn't you be suspicious?"

Chen Mo fell silent.

If his daughter really did that...

Hiss!

He probably really wanted to grab a knife and go...

Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Li Lizhi finally couldn't help but stomp her foot.

"What are you all thinking!"

Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin and said reproachfully.

"Father! Mr. Chen and I were just out buying a meal!"

"My mother just woke up and needs someone to talk to her. Sizi is still young, and my older brother has difficulty walking... and it was I who suggested it!"

"Besides, what's wrong with wanting to show my filial piety to my mother?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at the two men with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and exclaimed with delight.

"You mean your mother has woken up?"

Li Lizhi nodded.

"Mother is currently in my eldest brother's hospital room!"

"Good! Excellent! Hahaha! It's good that you're awake! Heaven bless my Guanyinbi!"

Li Shimin immediately burst into laughter.

As he spoke, he seemed eager to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

"Chen boy! Hurry up! Drive me to the hospital! I need to see Guanyinbi!"

Chen Mo rolled her eyes at his anxious look.

"Old Li! We came to pick you up before even buying food! We can't go back empty-handed, can we?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's face flashed with embarrassment.

He scratched his head and chuckled dryly.

"Yes! Buy food! Eating is the most important thing! Should I go back now and have the Imperial Kitchen prepare it?"

"Forget it! We'll just buy some light food near the hospital."

……

"Guanyinbi! You're finally awake!"

Li Shimin pushed open the door of the ward and rushed straight to Empress Zhangsun.

He grabbed Empress Zhangsun's hand, his voice trembling, his eyes quickly reddening.

"What will I do if you leave!"

Empress Zhangsun was slightly taken aback by his sudden outburst of intense emotion.

Even though she knew Li Shimin very well and knew he would do this, she was still moved.

Empress Zhangsun gently squeezed Li Shimin's large hand, which was trembling slightly with excitement.

"Second brother... I'm alright... I'm sorry to have worried you."

After saying that, she reached out and gently stroked Li Shimin.

The entire ward fell silent, as if only the two of them remained.

Until Chen Mo coughed lightly.

Li Shimin was startled from his reverie, abruptly raising his head to look at the crowd staring at him, his face filled with embarrassment.

Little Sizi covered her cheeks and cried out, her face flushed.

"Oh, you're so shameful! Even a baby isn't this clingy to its mother!"

Of course, although she was covering her face, the gaps between her fingers were actually bigger than her eyes.

Li Shimin blushed and coughed a few times to ease his embarrassment.

Empress Ma watched this scene with a smile, saying nothing more, her gaze becoming even gentler.

Indeed, the historical records are correct; Emperor Taizong of Tang and Empress Zhangsun had a deep and loving relationship.

Just like myself and Chongba!

"Ahem... Chen kid, give me the food you bought, I want to feed you myself!"

Li Shimin coughed a few more times, and when he saw what Chen Mo was carrying, his eyes lit up, as he wanted to use it to ease the awkwardness.

After saying that, he snatched the bowl of white porridge from Chen Mo's hand, scooped out a spoonful, and then, fearing that Empress Zhangsun might get burned, blew on it a few times before carefully handing it to her.

"Come here, Guanyinbi, let me feed you!"

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, even Empress Zhangsun, who was an old married couple, couldn't help but blush.

She glanced at the crowd whose eyes were all on them, as well as Xiao Sizi who was staring wide-eyed, afraid of missing a single detail, and then scolded them.

"Your Majesty, the children are still watching!"

Upon hearing this, Little Sizi immediately covered his eyes with his two chubby little hands, but his fingers were wide open as he mimicked the words in a childish voice.

"Mmm, Sizi can't see! He can't see Daddy feeding Mommy!"

Li Lizhi couldn't help but laugh. She stepped forward, gently pressed her sister's hand firmly, and said softly.

"Yes, Sizi, be good, let's not watch."

Li Shimin was even more embarrassed after his daughter made such a fuss.

His hand, holding the spoon, froze in mid-air. He didn't know whether to feed her or not, so he could only stiffen his neck and say to Empress Zhangsun.

"What's there to be afraid of! It's only natural for me to feed my own empress! Who dares to laugh at me?"

After he finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo immediately looked up at the sky, whistling out of tune, as if to say, "I didn't see anything."

Empress Ma smiled gently, considerately turned her head, and called to Zhu Biao in a soft voice.

"Biao'er, Mother is a little thirsty."

Zhu Biao understood and quickly walked over, turning his back to them.

"Mother, please drink slowly."

Fusu and Liu Ju turned their backs, seemingly oblivious to the patterns on the ward walls.

Li Chengqian turned his head to the side and looked at Li Lizhi.

"Lizhi, come and chat with your brother!"

Empress Zhangsun smiled as she looked at Li Shimin's forced composure and barely concealed embarrassment.

"Alright, Your Majesty, I can do it myself. You've had a long journey, so please take a rest."

Li Shimin did not give up and continued to persist.

"You've just woken up, let me do it!"

Empress Zhangsun smiled and shook her head, but did not refuse.

She ate the white porridge that Li Shimin fed her quietly, and as if she had thought of something, she asked.

"By the way, His Majesty is here, but there's no one in court. Will this...?"

Li Shimin, however, did not seem to care.

"It's alright, I've left everything to Qingque. I'll have that kid oversee the country."

As soon as he finished speaking, the once lively ward fell into a deathly silence.
